Shelby Valley Scrimmage

[imported_Freddy_Krueger]

I was there last night, and I realize it was the first go around last night, but I left Kinda feeling disappointed. Maybe it was where we ruled so much ass last year (I don't know)

But my fellow raider fans shouldn't feel too disappointed when we go 6-4 this year (POSSIBLY 7-3) I don't know how Clintwood, PV, GC or Honaker Looks.... I don't need to know... My guess is these will be the 4 games we lose.

I know we had 2 tackles out last night (and for the jet sweet tackles are REALLY important).... but we CANNOT be in a position where if someone gets hurt its GG (good game) on the season....

It just seems like we have so few kids this year compaired to last year... didn't we only graduate 5 from the team?! Oh Well...

Again, maybe my expectations were just uber high? But im not looking for much out of my boys this year, but that won't keep me from talking my share of smack Best of Luck Raiders!!!!

Dang guys, its the first scrimmage. You all might be right but my expectations are not too far from last year. We graduated 7 I beleive but I feel our defense will carry us through most of the year. Of course, I left after the goal line stand last night, 5 plays, don't know if anyone else saw that or not but I sure did. I guess I will hold all my thoughts until after this next scrimmage but I am not going to go as far as 6-4, but I don't know. We will see.

I dont no what you all were seeing but i seen a Raider team that was fired up and could easilly whip these teams any day of the week,Pikevile might be there preseason,but if they are ranked that high it must be pretty weak in eastern Ky this year,Remember DEFENSE WINS CHAMPIONSHIPS ask Pikeville 5 plays from the 1 inch line and stuck 5 times from the inch line,the offense is not going to be as impressive guys if that what your looking for then dont whatch burton this year,if you want to see a hard nose D giving up less than a TD a game then this is your ticket,but a shootout no,not this year.Burton at worst will faulter against either PV or CW that means 9-1,not bad,could be 10-0,believe me,sorry guys mayby we will impress you later on.By the way we graduated 11 seven of which played in the starting rotation.Last year we dressed 47 this year 37 so minus 10.Have you seen the shirt Coach gave the kids for completeing 2a days yeah they have a big black and orange BULLSEYE on the back,meaning every team that encounters us will have one thing on there mind and that is knocking us off the TOP,and not only that trying there damdest to embarass us,but as we no they better eat there wheaties and bring there A game,this junk gets me fired up.

I was there and seen the goal line stand. Yes the Defense looks good. Ah maybe you all know something I don't. But also remember we were playing pikeville and shelby valley. As I said before hopefully when the lineman return the team will look much better.

I would be willing to put up $100 to someone who thinks that they will finish worse than 8-2. I just don't see it happening this year unless we have major injuries at multiple positions.

Disappointed? I know that they were playing shelby valley and pikeville, but that is 10 times better scrimmage than Twin Springs and Ervinton from last year.

4:00 PM? You've gotta be kidding me. There's no way in hell I'd make it to that.

I know for sure it's at Gate City now, but if it's at 4:00 PM .. ugh, I'm going to be very, very upset.
